@MrRevolucionario619 Although Immortal said that he's been holding this beat for a very long time so he's probably kept it to himself for the past few years. RIP DILLA
i used to listen to this atleast once a day sorta like a ritual "A toast to the dead, for those that’ve died today The victims and those exonerated by DNA" respect
A LYRICAL MASTERMIND. My last toast to the dead is for the listener: human being or extraterrestrial visitor. Remember us for more than our primitive ways when you study us long after the end of our days
This was the one song that got me hooked as an official Immortal Technique fan. I was taking a walk down Torrance Blvd., which is not too far from Del Amo Mall.
How can they say Eminem is the greatest rapper? In his whole career he hasn't said as much as Immortal Technique says in one song. Tragic how the world measures skill..
IT and Em are two different styles. Lyrically EMinem is hands down the greatest to do it doesnt matter what your opinion is. Technique is one of the most prominent conscious rappers of this day and age. Rap doesnt ALWAYS have to be about spitting conscious and political you know. it's good but it's good to have a balance. Lyrically Eminem kills Technique on the mic, but Technique is without a doubt a dope emcee in his own right. To say Tech > Eminem is absurd because you're only putting it in a box of who spits "real" shit, and funny enough you'd be surprised how many serious songs and heartfelt raps he has outside o radio singles. no im not eminem "stan" im just a Hip Hop fan with an open mind that examines the game carefully.
+Chris Goomba If we're talking lyricism, Big L, Immortal Technique, and Nas murder Em. Em is far from the greatest to ever do it. His earlier shit bit off of Big L and AZ and after that he fell off. Technique has been around for 14 years and is still as good as when he first started so let's hold back on the typical "Em is the best" remarks. Damn Eminem fans are becoming worse than pac fans
Im confused? End verse deleted? ""My last toast to the dead is for the listener, human being or extraterrestrial visitor. Remember us for more than our primitive ways, when you study us long after the end of our days.""
I guess it was too much for whoever's keeping a lid on things. I guess the last toast is to remind us that we all gotta go at some point, and to not merely judge on our worst parts, but to appreciate us as whole beings.
speak the truth immortal Technique! you are a true artist I give it out to all the ninjas out there goin through a hard time with fallen family we all stick togeather and push on we all fam forever whoop whoop 0un3e.
Vangelis - Alpha .. Song ive been thinking of making a beat for over 30 years finally found it on you tube - The Late J Dilla beat me to it.. Im glad he did he is a true legend - RIP Dilla!
My last toast to the dead is for the listener Human being or extra terrestrial visitor Remember us for more then out primitive ways when you study is long after the end of our days....!!!
I think the instrumentals are from Vangelis legend of the ambient, electronic, progressive genre of music... I'm thrilled how good this came up, class lyrics with epic music...
salamualakum i know u guys r not muslim i dont care its about caring. anyways its the people who r starving and really hurting but people just care about themselves. when people dont even have to busy living the fast life and worrying when the next pay is.what if that was you.. we need more heart please people peace!!!
a toast to the dead for children with cancer and aids , a cure a exist and you probly could of been saved. sad to see medicine divorce morality , corporate home wreckers pimping up the salary. thats what sent a shiver up my spine
this is why people are stupid to think rap is. I never see Justin bieber or some mainstream crap die or when he breaks up with his girl. Everyone goes crazy as shit. Everyone thinks rap is bad, but some of it is not.
They say ille never make it , how tf would I take it , they wanna snatch my spirit and brake it , would they just forsake it, Or would I just awake it ,
I want this song played at my funeral.
Tyler P ... that’s deep bro
You're my people.✌️
"The only thing worse than giving freedom to the guilty,
is killing the innocent and leaving your soul filthy"
Remember that.
Hell yea bro that shit hit hard
Forever

"a toast to the dead for children with cancer and aids, there cure exists and you probably could of been saved" Honestly sad how true that is
The sad thing is the majority of people, that line goes right over there head. Truth will always be the best hip hop
BobbyBuntasTV definitely man. hip hop is littered with knowledge

cancer is passed down through the generations how you gonna cure that?

Immortal Technique, the most under rated rapper in hip-hop today!
Almost in history!! beside Vinnie p and Jedi mind
Immortal technique one of my favorite artist.your music has changed my life.my way of thinking.believing.thank you from your boy g.c.j.jr thank you
You don't 'Rap' in Hip-hop.
You merely speak the truth in ways which are poetic.
Immortal Technique, remember me when I'm gone
I encrypted my lyrics to stay alive in a song
so you'll always keep a piece of my spirit inside
when you struggle to complete what I started before I died
but some of you won't survive the changes the Earth makes
swallowed by tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes
and that's just the first stage if you cannot reverse ways
and realize that we are one regardless of our birthplace
"A Toast to the Dead, for all of my fam
I will never let an Eyedea die with a man
My rhymes are like nazca lines designed to give a view of this
J Dilla's still alive as long as his music is!"

R.I.P.
J Dilla and Immortal Tech AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
mind blown
Sample is Alpha by Vangelis, and a theme song of Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
Such genius
Makes this song hit that much harder...
RIP Prodigy ☝️☝️☝️
Felipe Coronel for president!
Katie Rose johannes is died
Dilla's music just has an energy that can't be explained thru words, greatest of all time, it's always the good ones that have to die R.I.P.
"Rest in Peace"
"Here’s another warrior's song; rep this life to the fullest"
"Rest in Peace"

"Rest in Peace"
"This ain’t for y’all, this a toast to them"
"Rest in Peace"
[Verse 1]
Here's a toast to the dead
If you don't drink, smoke to the head
For the freedom fighters killed by the feds
For those who died hard in the streets, soakin' in red
And died slow asleep in a dream, chokin' in bed
Here's a toast to the dead, for my enemies that are gone
I'm not a coward, so celebratin' that would be wrong
I pray to God that your soul will come back again
So I can see you in the next life and finish it then
A toast to the dead, for criminals burnin' in Hell
I wonder how many presidents are burnin' as well
Emperors, popes, senators, generals
Amputees feel unlucky until they see the vegetables
A toast to the dead, for those who are forgotten
Written out of history by the corrupted and rotten
Black saints whitewashed during La Reconquista
Thousands of Indios Spaniards used to conquer the Incas
Fuck a moment of silence, I need a moment of violence
Like the 19th century Caribbean islands
Long live those who came before that paved the way for me
The warriors and scientists that came before slavery
And if that last lyric was predictable
Take your clairvoyance and apply it to life in the physical
Presumptuous, half-hearted homunculus
Self-destruction is the power without knowin' what the function is
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Here's a toast to the dead, for all of my fam
I will never let an idea die with a man
My rhymes are like Nazca lines: designed to give a view of this
J Dilla's still alive as long as his music is
A toast to the dead, for rap legends and pioneers
Your legacy won't be forsaken as long as I am here
Knowledge of the past and wisdom of the present
I'll teach and leave in the hands of a worthy lieutenant
A toast to the dead, for children with cancer and AIDS
A cure exists and you probably could have been saved
Sad to see medicine divorce morality
Corporate homewreckers pimpin' up the salary
A toast to the dead, for those that'll die today
The victims and those exonerated by DNA
The only thing worse than givin' freedom to the guilty
Is killin' the innocent and leavin' your soul filthy
Immortal Technique, remember me when I'm gone
I encrypted my lyrics to stay alive in a song
So you'll always keep a piece of my spirit inside
When you struggle to complete what I started before I died
But some of you won't survive the changes the Earth makes
Swallowed by tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes
And that's just the first stage if you cannot reverse ways
And realize that we are one regardless of our birthplace
[Hook]
[Outro]
My last toast to the dead is for the listener
Human being or extraterrestrial visitor
Remember us for more than our primitive ways
When you study us long after the end of our days
RIP the 100+billion farmed animals that will be slaughtered this year because of our Sapien societys short sightedness

It's weird. Unlike a lot of songs, this one gets better the more you listen to it.
I swear I have to listen to this at least once a day

Chris Goomba Sorry but Eminem is not the greatest lyricist. His metaphors are nothing. Eminem is good with flow not lyrics.
Eminent flow is 1,000900000000 better than techniques, I wish it was him on this best instead
+Chris Goomba Eminem the greatest to do it lyrically? lmfao, damn people really don't know Hip-Hop

Still relevant in 2024 til infinity

thats what sent a shiver up my spine
How can anyone talk shit on this beat?!?! Its fucking smooth.
@MrRevolucionario619
There has to be an instrumental out there somewhere, because obviously this beat wasn't made anytime in the past 5 years.
R.I.P to Palestinians fighting for their freedom.
idk why but this sounds WAY more clearer than the official download i got from tech
shits tight
I know I did not just have to fuck with an ad before an Immortal Technique song. That's fucked up
this is why people are stupid to think rap is. I never see Justin bieber or some mainstream crap die or when he breaks up with his girl. Everyone goes crazy as shit. Everyone thinks rap is bad, but some of it is not.
Rest in Peace, victims of the Aurora, CO massacre
I met her over half a decade ago.
A toast or toast to the living
Of coarse..... as a diné I pray for everything and everybody... even for your enemies...
He uses the beat that is in Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Not sure on what episodes.
They say ille never make it , how tf would I take it , they wanna snatch my spirit and brake it , would they just forsake it, Or would I just awake it ,
here is a toast to the dead
Theres a version where he mutters about aliens at the of this song ..funny how I cant find the upload.
@mlghackerifyme tech already said that. "Trying to fight the system from inside, eventually corrupts you"
Fucking Romney ad before this video. Is youtube fucking kidding me?
lmfaooo
Toast Peace1
Where did they steal this beat from? Vangelis?
I thought that was Biggie I heard here. Since it is called Toast to the Dead it should have a line from Pac as well.
WE are 1
Regardless Of Our Birth Place
